Rebirth 1945

"Survivors of the Holocaust were liberated by British, American and Russian forces. The places, wherever they found themselves at that time, became DP (Displaced Persons') Camps. I consider this period spent in DP Camps as a rebirth and a most precious time. I have tried to explore it in a way that would give a deeper understanding of a time when we were without families, homes, completely dispossessed, having an unknown future but with the possibility of a new life. In most memoirs, including my own, the time spent in the DP Camp is only briefly mentioned. Rebirth 1945, refers to the rebirth of the main characters. Like hundreds of others, I was destined to be drowned in the sea on the 3rd May 1945, had I not been liberated by the British Army in a place which had by then become a DP Camp. As a result of much thought and a compulsion to describe these times in greater detail, I started writing this [autobiographical novel] fifty-four years later. My fictitious characters find themselves in a real historic place. As I am unable to recall exact conversations between individuals from such a long time ago, I have just described some events, similar to those that took place. Some other situations are told here with poetic freedom. This book is not a continuation of my memoir but a novel." - PREFACE BY AUTHOR SABA FENIGER.
